Raid fly/wasp spray harmful to ball pythons?
As it's just becoming summer here in the UK, I haven't seen many flying dangers for quit a while. However, tonight a large wasp flew in and I got the Raid out in a panic and sprayed it in my living room without thinking. My BP lives on the other side of this room.
I sprayed the can away from the direction the tank, and have opened the window for ventilation. The spray did not directly touch my BP, but I still smell it on the air.
I am very worried that I may have indirectly harmed my BP!
On the can it says to remove fish tanks, animal cages, terrariums etc. before use, not to breath the spray, to wash exposed skin and to not remain in the treated area until 15 minutes have passed; among other various warnings.
The aerosol contains '1R-trans phenothrin 0.125% (0.125g/100g),' and 'prallethrin on.10% (0.10g/100g).'
I would be extremely grateful for any guidance, insight or reassurance.
Thank you,
A
